A two+ hour drive would really take it out of me. I would often have to stop and have a 10 minute nap.

I've found meds have really helped, I still feel tired, but I don't have to sleep afterwards or take naps.

Same with riding motorbike, but double. I think it's the intense concentration for long periods of time.

For sure. I will fall asleep driving even if I am otherwise fully awake. Caffeine didn't help at all. Meds were the only thing that makes me safe to drive.

This is for multi hour drives, i at least don't fall asleep going to the grocery store.
